This episode of #ZoeysPlaylist was a brilliant piece of art that tackled the topic of systemic racism in tech and represented what so many people who are #BlackinTech and #firstgen are faced with every day at work.

Words have power. The biggest misuse of a word I hear daily is "diverse." This word is used to describe a group of people. It cannot be used to describe an individual and should not be used as an abbreviation or in place of words like "Black" or "LGBTQ+." #DiversityandInclusion

The Black stories we see in media sculpt how Black people are perceived on screen and in real life. It's time to #ChangeTheNarrative

It's time to stop throwing gender reveal parties. Sex doesn't equal gender. If you want to have a party because you're having a baby, just throw a party. #TransDayOfVisibility

It's event day! I am so excited to be a part of such a powerful, impactful event that is highlighting the importance of education and philanthropy in the Black community! Planning this event with Firewood Events was truly an honor #The1954Project #LuminaryAwards

The moments when I feel seen are irreplaceable. Thank you to the Bold Black Girls Podcast Podcast for featuring me as the #BoldBlackGirl of the month and for giving me the platform to share my story, to celebrate my successes, and to share what I've learned. youtube.com/watch?v=mMndrt…

ERG leaders are undervalued, overworked, and underpaid...period. Cheers to companies fairly compensate ERG leaders at a level that is commensurate with the impact they have on recruiting and retaining underrepresented talent! #DiversityandInclusion axios.com/linkedin-erg-p…

Honored to be a panelist (judge) for the Fellowship Pitch Day hosted by Close the Gap! I particularly loved how they were teaching these young people who were from low income, systemically underrepresented backgrounds to be "exceptional, not exceptions." #PitchCompetition

Two conferences reached out this week to ask me to speak, but then said that they don't have budget for compensating speakers for their time. Yet, they are selling tickets for $500-$1200. Something isn't adding up here.. #PayBlackWomen #RedFlags 🚩🚩🚩
